Text Mat­ters: A Jour­nal of Lit­er­a­ture, The­o­ry and Cul­ture, based at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Łódź, is an inter­na­tion­al and inter­dis­ci­pli­nary jour­nal, which seeks to engage in con­tem­po­rary debates in the human­i­ties by invit­ing con­tri­bu­tions from lit­er­ary and cul­tur­al stud­ies inter­sect­ing with lit­er­ary the­o­ry, gen­der stud­ies, his­to­ry, phi­los­o­phy, and reli­gion. The jour­nal focus­es on tex­tu­al real­i­ties, but con­tri­bu­tions relat­ed to art, music, film and media stud­ies address­ing the text are also invit­ed. Sub­mis­sions in Eng­lish should relate to the key issues delin­eat­ed in calls for arti­cles which will be placed on the web­site in advance. The jour­nal also fea­tures reviews of recent­ly pub­lished books, and inter­views with writ­ers and schol­ars emi­nent in the areas addressed in Text Mat­ters. Respons­es to the arti­cles are more than wel­come so as to make the jour­nal a forum of live­ly aca­d­e­m­ic debate. Though Text Mat­ters derives its iden­ti­ty from a par­tic­u­lar region, cen­tral Poland in its geo­graph­ic posi­tion between west­ern and east­ern Europe, its inter­con­ti­nen­tal advi­so­ry board of asso­ciate edi­tors and inter­na­tion­al­ly renowned schol­ars makes it pos­si­ble to con­nect diverse inter­pre­ta­tive per­spec­tives stem­ming from cul­tur­al­ly spe­cif­ic loca­tions. The style sheet and oth­er use­ful infor­ma­tion can be found on our web­site.
